"In quest of understanding the role of plants in medicine first, then defining nature study as a field of inquiry in itself during the Renaissance, botanists and artists tried for a long time to depict plants in a realistic manner in order to improve knowledge of the natural world. I would like to investigate on how this quest of accuracy developed itself with an underlying wish to fantasize on reality and how trying to portray plants has in fact been a way to generate 'the curious, the marvelous, and the particular'."
The Curious, the Marvellous and the Particular is a short visual and written essay.
